difference between Massive4 kit and turnkey, Anyone know? Options

[weekendfun]

I have been searching the massive4 site and if I am starting from scratch, completely stock engine and have to buy new carbs, ignition, and everything else for a 2270 engine kit, how much difference would that be then if I were to just get a 2270 turnkey, and what would the difference in HP and TQ between the 2?

First, welcome to the club and the slippery downward spiral into 914 ownership.

Touch base with Jake at massivetype4 and he will give it to your straight. All his engines are built to customer specs so there is not set price for turnkey. The kits and turn key engines all require you to buy carbs and the rest of the set up stuff. He set up the kits trying to help with the cost and that fact that he has a waiting list, that some people don't want to wait for. The bottom line is the turnkey will be ready to run with Jake putting it on his dyno and tunning it. You pay for his time. If you can afford Jakes engines go for it but it can be expensive once your are done. BTW this is just my two sense, talk to Jake he will give it to you straight and honest. You get what you pay for.
